Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Zhuo Jing, the Minister of Industry, walked quickly towards the Wuying Palace. Hearing the movement behind them, Xia Yuanji stopped and turned around, and saw Huang Fucheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, supporting a gray-haired old man.
"Zheng Shangshu."
Xia Yuanji's heart sank. What big event happened? How could Zheng Ci, who was not in good health, be summoned on such a hot day?
Zheng Ci looked at Xia Yuanji who came over to help him, took a few deep breaths, and sighed: "I'm old, I'm not as good as you people, Xia Shangshu, you know what happened, your Majesty seems to be in a hurry to summon you."
Xia Yuanji looked at the aging Zheng Ci with some sadness: "I don't know why, but you are here, which means it's not a big deal."
"Zheng Shangshu, Xia Shangshu."
Xu Kai, Zhu Rong, Duan Yun, Liu Qixia and others rushed over and bowed briefly.
Xia Yuanji stared, Zhou Dazhi, Li De, Zhuge Tang and others were also coming, and there were others coming from behind, those were Wang Jingzhang, Chen Qia, Chen Jun, and Yang Fenghuo!
The four great governors of the Beijing Army!
Why are they here!
"It seems that this is no small matter."
Zheng Ci swept the crowd and saw that the top brass and main force of the Beijing army had arrived, including the chief governor. This situation was rare.
"Let's go, everything will be clear when we see the emperor."
Xia Yuanji's heart was heavy.
In Wuying Hall, nearly eighty officials gathered, most of them military generals.
Although Tie Xuan has entered the cabinet, he also serves as the Minister of War. He analyzed the situation: "According to the information currently available, the Oara, Tatar, Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guard may take advantage of Liaodong and Northeast China to gather troops to enter North Korea. During the battle, the fate of the ethnic group was put on the line, and the Ming Dynasty’s rising national power was interrupted at all costs.”
"In other words, what Ming Dynasty may now face is not only the war in Korea and the war on the three islands of Japan. Oara, Tatar, and Uliangha may participate from three directions, setting off a large-scale war against Ming Dynasty. War. You are right, we may fall into a five-front battle!"
"Five-front battle?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Kai's face changed, and Duan Yun and others also looked solemn.
As anyone who has experienced war, we all know that fighting on multiple fronts is a taboo for military strategists. Let alone the five fronts, too many people will suffer big losses in fighting on two fronts.
"Yang Fenghuo, you seem to have something to say."
Zhu Yunwen saw Yang Fenghuo, who raised his head and looked toward the roof.
Yang Fenghuo wanted to sneeze, but when he heard Zhu Yunwen shouting, he suddenly shuddered and forgot about the sneeze. He took two steps and said sternly: "Old Yang, I am a rough man and uneducated. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The crime of disrespect.”
"Say it."
Zhu Yun smiled faintly.
Yang Fenghuo cleared his throat, clenched his fists and shouted vigorously: "Is the five-front war scary? Are Oara, Tatar, and Uliangha scary? In my opinion, let alone the five-front war, it means fighting from all sides. I The great Ming Dynasty can handle it with ease! The Ming Dynasty at this time is definitely not the Ming Dynasty ten years ago! The Ming Dynasty at this time is not the Ming Dynasty when Welu Mu fought against Timur five years ago! Nomadic people are outside, how can they know the national strength of our Ming Dynasty? The prosperity?"
"I am in the Beijing army and I know the strength of the Beijing army. I have gone on an expedition and seen the heavy armor of Timur's cavalry! It's not that we are overconfident and rebellious. I have seen all the great soldiers in the world, but the Ming Dynasty sergeants are the elite! Nomadic cavalry, You have no right to bully me anymore. Damn it, it’s better if you don’t come. If you want to come, then go to hell!”
"Hangai Mountain, we love it too, take it back! I heard that the pasture near Helin is good, wouldn't it be good to use it to raise Ming Dynasty's cattle and sheep! Your Majesty, if there is a war, I, Yang Fenghuo, am willing to be the vanguard. As for fighting Tatar or Oala , or Wu Liangha, wherever the emperor points, we will hit him!"
Tie Xuan and Xu Huizu covered their foreheads. This chief governor is really vulgar, but
What he said was indeed inspiring and reassuring, and it sounded a little comforting...
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and looked at everyone: "If the five-line battle pattern really emerges, we will face the power of the entire Oara, Tatar, and Ulangha clan. Yang Fenghuo's confidence is commendable, but it cannot be underestimated. Their strength. I have issued a decree to mobilize 50,000 war horses from Tianshan Racecourse and Shandan Racecourse to supplement Datong, Beiping, and Jizhou. But I am thinking that this decree may be too late, and we need to make other arrangements."
Zheng Ci walked out tremblingly, his old face drooping: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask, will these Wala, Tatar, and Uliangha really attack the Ming Dynasty?"
Everyone looked at Zhu Yunwen. This was indeed a fatal question that needed to be confirmed.
Zhu Yunwen pondered silently.
Whether the information provided by Mo'er is accurate or not, there is currently no other information to prove it.
Whether the chess players are planning the overall situation and whether the storm is coming, no one else can prove it.
If it is concluded that the Oara, Tatar, and Uliangha groups attacked the Ming Dynasty and nothing happened, it would greatly damage their own prestige and also dampen the military morale that was sharpening their swords.
It was still midsummer, and the army's logistics had just been reformed, and it could not support 100,000-level logistics. Once large-scale preparations were made for combat, it was estimated that the recruitment of civilian power would be indispensable!
Without these things, all actions will be a waste!
But Mahamu himself is an unruly wild wolf. He has never obeyed anyone. It is impossible for him to truly surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
There is no need to consider Benya's loss. Arutai wants to restore the Yuan Dynasty, and often offends Daming. He is Daming's enemy in the first place. It is understandable that he would use a knife to deal with Daming at this time.
As for Wuliangha, Duoyanwei and Fuyuwei, there has been news for a long time that they want to break away from the Ming Dynasty. It's just that after the military parade, they should be more honest, but this kind of honesty may not be able to withstand the temptation of the empty Northeast. They have always wanted Daning, Liaodong and Northeast as their living and pasture land, thus forming The pattern of Wala in the west, Tatar in the middle, and Uliangha in the east.
The most worrying thing is the ancient and modern chess players hiding in the dark. No one knows how long they have been planning, how long they have been waiting, and no one knows what they said to Wala, Tatar, and Wu Liangha.
Are you telling them that Ming Dynasty will destroy them sooner or later, and it will be too late if they don't take action now?
Let’s tell them that after the battle is over, you will take away the Ming Dynasty, Oula, and other places in Western Xinjiang and Gansu, Tatar, you will take Hetao, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and other places, and Wuliangha, you will take away Liaodong, Northeastern China, and even North Korea. ?
Zhu Yunwen couldn't see through the arrangements in the dark, so he thought from his perspective. If someone instigated him to show his powerful relationship and divide the interests, Mahamu might not be tempted. Arutai would take action at any time. Wu Liangha, he was a rebel in history. ah……
But on major national issues, can we make decisions based only on the eight pieces of information from unknown sources provided by Mo'er and relying on speculation?
Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath.
For a long time, Zhu Yunwen has been able to rely on historical context to seize opportunities and deal with them calmly. But history no longer operates according to a predetermined trajectory, and it no longer provides itself with the possibility of foreseeing.
Now, at this time!
What do you use to make a decision?
Zhu Yunwen had an intuition that the situation would suddenly change and become violent.
But as an emperor, it is impossible to rely solely on intuition to persuade civil and military officials!
Yang Shiqi sensed Zhu Yunwen's difficulties and walked out and said: "Your Majesty, although the construction of the new capital of Peking has not been completed, the military camps of the three major battalions have been completed. I think that some Beijing troops can be sent to check and accept..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yang Shiqi, suddenly enlightened, walked towards Zheng Ci, held Zheng Ci's hand, and said seriously
: "Zheng Shangshu, according to top-secret information, it is very likely that Wala will launch troops against the Ming Dynasty. Although the accurate information has not been transmitted, I believe that it will not take long before the matter will be determined. But before that, I need to arrange the army Be prepared and be prepared!"
Zheng Ci nodded repeatedly: "The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. Now that the court has received the news, in my opinion, even if it turns out to be a false alarm later, it must be taken very seriously. Your Majesty, everyone, war is not a child's play, don't let it be a fluke , let our sergeants and people suffer! I invite the emperor to issue an order to mobilize the Beijing army, various military posts, and various prefectures and counties to prepare for war with all their strength to cope with unexpected changes!"
Gu Pu, the Minister of War, stood up to support Zheng Ci: "Your Majesty, on the battlefield, the situation can change instantly. We live in Jinling, and the news is slow to arrive. We must first prepare for the war and mobilize the Beijing army to the north. As Yang Ge said, we can take advantage of receiving When the new military camp in Peiping is given the opportunity, we should march first without disturbing the lives of the people."
Xie Jin nodded slightly: "It is a good idea to take over the Peiping military camp. At the same time, in the name of military training, we will urge the various garrison stations to conduct combat drills, order various places to inspect food, and prepare for possible wars. Avoid taking action against Oara, Tatar, and Uliangha. We were in too much haste to deal with it.”
Xu Kai frowned, what on earth are you people talking about?
Unable to cope?
What a joke.
Do you know what the situation is like on the front line and what weapon configurations the front line cities have?
If Tatar has the courage to come, let's see if he has the ability to open Datong. Wala has a lot of moves, and we have to see if he can capture Urumqi or Jiayuguan.
Only Wu Liangha was a problem. Many people from Daning and Liaodong were transferred to the Yalu River, and there were still a large number of civilians on the northeastern border.
Elders, can you say something we can understand?
If Wala wants to fight, then let him fight.
There are plenty of them in the city, so they can nibble on them if they want to, just to see how many good teeth he has.
If the Tatars want to fight, let them fight.
Can he still fly over the front line of the Great Wall?
At this time, it is not necessary to mobilize the Beijing army to go north and mobilize the guards and prefectures and counties all over the world, right?
Duan Yun and Gao Zhongguang were also a little lost in the lake.
At first, when I heard about the battle on the fifth front, it seemed so powerful, but when I thought about it carefully, why, if there were enemies on the fifth front, could the sky still fall?
Our northern front line is all about the new army's strategy. We need military morale and firearms. The magic machine cannon has also been placed on the city wall, and the Tiger Crouching Cannon has also been sent. Although the number of gunpowder shells is limited, it can be used rationally to block the enemy. A ten-day attack is not a problem.
Ten days is enough for the Ming Dynasty’s army to provide mobile support. I’m afraid of a bird!
"Xuan Qingshu, what are they talking about?"
Liu Qixia came over and asked.
Xuan Qingshu glanced at Zhu Yunwen, who was discussing with the ministers, and whispered: "Oh, they are discussing how to wipe out Wala, Tatar, and Wuliangha all at once..."
——
Thank you very much for your reminders and votes, and thank you to every reader for your recognition and support of Da Ming.
Recently I saw some accusations and complaints, which made Jingxue write about Ming Dynasty with all her strength.
I know this is recognition for me, thank you.
I've just said the specific reasons many times, and I don't want to explain it any more, let alone make it miserable.
I just want to say, if you can understand it, please try to understand it. I am a person who needs to live and support my family. It is no longer like in the past, when one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.
I may still not be able to update more in June, so I apologize to everyone.
So, no more votes.
What follows is a magnificent war, and I will try my best to write about the Ming Dynasty in my heart.
The war is not the end, there is still a future.
